Application 

The IDC from Val Controls is an Intelligent Diagnostic Controller. To be used for valve testing and 
operation. It has an integrated microprocessor with very flexible software, which makes the IDC fits 
almost any hydraulic and pneumatic, rotary and linear, double acting and spring return actuator on 
the market.
